Your details

Filing status & year
1 · Federal Income Tax (progressive, Form 1040)

Interest and ordinary dividends are entered under 4 · Capital Gains. Pre-tax contributions, student loan interest, withholding, and standard/itemized deductions below:

2 · Payroll Taxes (FICA) (Social Security & Medicare)

Computed automatically from your W-2 wages in section 1: 6.2% Social Security (up to the annual wage base) + 1.45% Medicare, matched by your employer. Self-employed people pay both halves — already included in your self-employment tax.

3 · Corporate Income Tax — Federal (C-corporations)

Flat 21% federal corporate rate. Very large corporations (book income over $1B) face a 15% book minimum tax under recent law. S-corp, LLC, and partnership profits pass through — they belong in sections 1–2 instead.

4 · Capital Gains Tax (assets & investments)

Long-term gains tax at 0%/15%/20% by income level, plus the 3.8% Net Investment Income Tax above thresholds. Short-term gains and interest are taxed at your ordinary rates. Collectibles (28%) and unrecaptured real-estate gains (25%) aren’t broken out here.

5 · Estate & Gift Taxes (wealth transfer)

Estates and cumulative lifetime gifts share one $13.99M exemption (2025); the excess is taxed at 18–40%. Gifts under $19,000 per person per year (2025) don’t count. Estate is estimated on the combined total above the exemption.

6 · Excise Taxes — Federal (goods & fuel)

Federal rates: gasoline 18.4¢/gallon, cigarettes ~$1.01/pack, beer ~33¢ per six-pack (approx.). Airline tickets carry a 7.5% federal tax plus segment fees, and alcohol taxes vary by beverage — not broken out here.

7 · Tariffs / Customs Duties (imports)

Collected at the border, not on your return — the cost is usually built into the price you pay. Duties range from 0% to 25%+ by product; the nationwide average is roughly 3% of import value.

8 · State Income Tax

State estimate applies the rate to your federal AGI — simplified, before state deductions and credits. Progressive states are best checked with the rate that applies to you. Approximate rates are labeled “2025” — confirm before relying on them.

9 · Sales Tax (point of sale)

No state sales tax in AK, DE, MT, NH, OR (local sales taxes may still apply in parts of Alaska and Montana). Typical combined rates run 6–10%.

10 · Excise Taxes — State (fuel & tobacco)

Uses the amounts you entered for gallons and packs in section 6. State gas taxes average ~31¢/gallon; state cigarette taxes range from 17¢ to $4.35 per pack.

11 · Corporate Income Tax — State (on profits from section 3)

Most states tax corporate profits separately from the federal 21%. Typical state corporate rates run 4–10%; apportionment rules vary by state.

Estimate only — not a filing or tax advice. Uses official IRS brackets, standard deductions, credit limits, and 2024/2025 inflation adjustments for federal rules; state/local data is simplified and approximate. Local property tax is entered separately below.

          Section 12 — Local

          Local taxes & fees: the ones cities and counties collect

          These vary block by block, so we keep them as reference — your county assessor and DMV are the final word.

          Property tax (local)

          Levied on real estate, funding schools, roads, and emergency services. Typically 0.3–2.5% of assessed value; national median ~1.1%. Counted in your estimate when you enter value + rate above.

          Local sales tax add-ons

          Many cities and counties add sales tax on top of the state rate — that’s why the section 9 field asks for your combined rate. Local add-ons commonly add 1–3.5 percentage points.

          Other local fees

          Vehicle registration ($50–$300/yr), utility taxes, and special-district assessments pay for transit and infrastructure. They’re paid at renewal or in your bills — not on your tax return.

          The Layered System

          Where each of your 11 taxes comes from

          The U.S. system is layered: most people pay several of these at once, and your total burden is the sum.

          Taxes on earnings

          Individual income tax (10–37% progressive), payroll FICA (6.2% + 1.45%, matched), corporate income (21% federal + state, sections 3 & 11), and capital gains (0/15/20% long-term + 3.8% NIIT).

          Taxes on purchases

          Sales tax at the point of sale (6–10% typical combined), federal excise on gas/cigarettes/beer, state excise on fuel and tobacco, and tariffs on imports — usually built into store prices.

          Taxes on ownership & wealth

          Local property tax, the federal estate tax above the $13.99M exemption, gift tax over $19,000 per recipient, six states’ inheritance taxes, plus registration and district fees. The U.S. has no wealth tax.
